PRINCE BISMARCK SUED.
BERLIN, April 25.-The Volks ZeituDg
brought action for libel against Prince
Bismarck on account of the attack upon
that paper made by the Chancellor in q
speech il the Reichstag. The court has
just decided that 1t has not jurisdiction,
as the Prince being a German general is
only amenable to military trial.
PAPERS SENT TO BERLIN.
BERLIN, April 25.-The French govern
ment has sent to Berlin documents relst-
ing to the Schnoebels affair, including
CUmmiss ~ Gautch's two letters inviting
Schnoebels to meet him.
The North German Gazette says that
SchnOebels tried to escape back to French
territory when seized by the German
agents, but that he was Overtaken before
he crossed over the frontier line
Montagsbatt declares that SChnoebels
had six subordinate egents who were
acting as spies for General BOulanger,
French war minister. One OF these
agents, man named Kuhn, was dis
missed by SChnOebel5 and subsequently
entered the German service. He made
revelations which led to the arrest OF
the other agents, and much evil
deECe was collected thereby
against SchnOebels, who was notified some
weeks ago that warrant had been issued
for his arrest and would be executed if
he crossed the frontier. Schnoebels was
visited in prison at Metz yesterday by his
wife and son. They were allowed to con-
verse in German for twenty five minutes.
They were stopped by the warden when
they began to talk of the arrest. The
authorities handed to the wife articles
found in Schnoe bels' possession. 1t is
reported in some quarters that it was
with the object of seeing his pocket book
and other papers, containing memoranda
useful to Germany, that the arrest of
SchnOebels was ordered
BISMARCK REGRETS IT.
PARIS, April 25.-It is stated that Herr
Won LeydOn, German charge d'affaires,

sulting the chancellor for the offense,
concerning which Prince Bismarck re-
served his opinion.

IN PARLIAMENT,


LONDON, April 25 Sir John Gorst,
parliamentary secretary for the India
office, stated in the House of Commons
this afternoon that the Ameer of Afghan
istan reports the Gilzil rebellion is not
spreading and that his troops are meet
ing with success in their encounters with
the rebels.
MIR. Sexton asked Hen. William st.
John Fremantle Broderick, Conservative,
whether in his recent speech he had
spoken of the Times forgery as Mr.. Par
nell's letter.
Mr.. Broderick answered: eyes, in
addressing aby meeting on this subject l
will not mince the matter, but will call
the letter Parnel's. 1t is popular
designation to call the letter Mr.. Par
nell's letter. The justice of it can be
left to the House aud the country"
conservative cheers.
Mr.. Sexton asked whether, in view af
the fact that Mr.. Parnell had des Cribed
the document as a villainous and bare
faced forgery, Mr.. Broderck was not
committing breach of privilege in 50
describing this letter, as 1t was implicet-
ing deliberate faIsehQOd to Mr.. Parneu.
Speaker Peele replied that the remarks
of Mr.. BrOderiCk did not refer to any
thing done by Mr.. ParneII in the House,
and therefore the matter did not come
within the definition of the breach Of
privilege.
The House then went into committee
on the budget.
PREPARING FOR THE DIVISION.
LONDON, April 25.-Many members
VINO have been absent from the House of
Commons during the past week have
returned. The government calculates
that the division on the motion to
90 into committee on the coercion bill
will be taken up on Friday and result in
the former sjority, but the Minlsterialists
admit that in committee they must be
ready to accept large amendments. It is
reported in the Hobbies that two officers
of the crown have advised the govern
ment that there is no reason why the
private dispositions OF crown witnesses in
the Pn9niX park murder trials, and other
famous Irish cases, would not be laid
upon the table in the House Of Commons.
The Liberal leaters will oppose the pro-
ductiOn Of the evidence on the ground
that it is One-sided and has never been
testedin open court On the passage of the
coercion bill, the Right Hon. Holmes,
Attorney General for Ireland, will be
raised to the judicial bench of Ireland.

Prohibtionists of Bell county held
meeting at the courthouse to-day at 2 p.

Teton, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, was elected permanent chair
man. Mr.. Pendleton made a short
speech upon taking the chair, u which he
stated that he opposed the amendment
because he believed it was wrong in
principle and that in his opinion the prn-
Ciple of prohibition was undemoCratic,
but so far as this canvass was concerned
the state convention at Galveston had
settled the question Of using the Demo
cratic party in Texas either for or against
the amendment, and that the fight must
be made upon the ground SIS to whether
prohibition was right or wrong, not
whether it was democratic or undemo-
cratic. The body then proceeded with
the work of electlng delegates, and of
perfeCtiDg the county organization.
Forty delegates from the county were
selected. Five from each Justices
beat were elected, and county
executive committee, consisting Of one
member from each Justices beat, was

man of the county executive committee.
committee on resolutions was APP
pointed, and reported platform to the
body, which was adopted by unanimous
vote. A resolution was offered pro-
posing that the chair appoint committee
consisting of one from each Justices beat,
whose duty it should be to get up by SUD
scripti0n sufficient funds to pay the ex-
penses of the delegates to the Dallas con-
ventiOn. The resolution was adopted
and the committee was appointed, and
upon motion the meeting adjourned sine
die.
